| | CPP and keys I am waiting like alot of the rest of the poor kids of the world to play with this new OS. I am planning on installing it on my HP laptop (AMD64), but maybe down the road a bit (once I determine its safe) on my main pc. Will I have this option like MSDN and Technet'ers or am I just plan old fashioned screwed? |
